What a great competition. I have been sewing since I was 7-8 and was taught by my very patient mum. I bought my first sewing machine when I was pregnant with my daughter and only made one set of curtains and some nappies and then it got put away. I havent had alot of time until recently now my two bubs are a little older and I am enjoying sewing for them. I feel like I am relearning the basics from scratch.

I have took an interest in sewing when I was a young teen, but school, then work seemed to prioritise over it. I mentioned to my other half that I loved sewing when I was younger, and for christmas one year he bought me a sewing machine. I found I had forgottenalot of what I had learnt, so when I visited my mum in me lb I took a course with Nicole mallalieu, which was amazing!

I've been sewing since a young age as I always interested at anything crafts related. A million thanks to my mother, my grandmother and my aunt who taught me the basics of hand and machine sewing (using their vintage singer sewing machines). I then bought my first sewing machine when I was 19 and have never looked back!

I've been sewing since December last year. I did Textiles at school about 10 years ago but I was a bludgy teenager back then. The only benefit it gave me was some common sense machine knowledge...I'm scared to even try a zip or button! I was planning to enroll in this course at the end of this week IF I can afford it. This is a great prize! :)

What an awesome prize, would love to win this!! I haven't done any sewing since high school and have only recently taken it back up again. Anything to help advance my basic skills would be fantastic!!!

Have been sewing on and off for about 2 years. I love sewing for my kids but am completely self taught (except for a few hints from my mum ;)) so would love to learn how to do things 'properly'. My goal is to be able to sew clothes for myself but - too scared yet ;)

i have been sewing on and off since learning in high school. took it back up reguarly after i had my son 2 years ago. now i cant go one week without sewing something! still learning new things all the time :D

I have been sewing for a few months now, i took it up as a hobby, and to get me off the computer! I have mostly figured things out on my own woth a bit of help from YouTube and other tutorials online. I just make simple stuff for my kids. shorts, applique on shirts, library bags and some simple softies.

I've sewn since i was young as my mum used to sew for us girls. By the time my little sister came along mum had stopped, I feel my sister has missed out for sure. I have taken it up again after a 20yr break! I'd love to do the basics again, I have never been able and still cannot read a pattern and sew by just looking at the pattern pictures. Great prize and great that its out there, I will go have a look now.

i 'learnt' to sew at school but never really embraced the 'skill' (or in my case lack there of - i'm a near enough is good enough, kinda girl) until my second baby was born. I would love to sew every day but unfortunately life sometimes gets in the way. The opportunity to learn how to do things the right way would be AMAZING

Renee has passed on her enthusiasm and passion for sewing to me although I have much much much to learn!!! I'm so excited for her and other TSL members that the blog is up and running at long last!!! I don't know what I did before TSL existed hahaha

I've been sewing for one year this month. I've read about the course before and would love to be able to take part. Great competition, thanks!P.S. I've tried to sign in using google but it won't let me? So using my old blog as URL sign in :)

It was a great decision joining TSL on Facebook especially now that a blog had been created - more info to absorb and learn!! ... been sewing since primary age til high school as a subject at school but had been rusty ever since. Would be fantastic to re-learn the basic to broaden my skills! Wonderful comp!

With a cupboard stashed with sewing supplies & a machine & overlocker ready to be used, lessons are what I desperately NEED! I've owned my sewing machine for 2 years, but have only ever done the basics, & by basics, I'm talking straight stitch to sew two pieces of fabric together! What a great idea to have lessons online! A much better way to learn rather than try to fit it around a hectic household of 6!

Do I have to count the years that WASN'T sewing? I started sewing for myself when I was a teenager (about 14 or 15) making incredibly daggy knee length shorts out of all the daggiest/silliest kiddy prints I could get my hands on. I have always had a sewing machine, or good access to one! and before I got back into sewing a couple of years ago I would do crazy stuff - like hem pants, skirts, etc; make curtains (very badly!); and other crazy stunts too. So, I s'pose you could say I have been sewing for *gulp* nearly 30 years (oh it hurts to say that number...it really truly does!!!)

I only started 3 months ago, and have so far a few skirts/blouses and dresses from copying things in my wardrobe. I would really like to learn to use patterns properly though, then I can make things for other people too!

What an amazing prize! I'm already loving the blog, another great addition to TSL :)I started sewing at school many moons ago, then had another stint when my teenagers were little. Now I have babies again and I'm LOVING sewing. I'm learning lots of new things and would love the opportunity to learn even more

I am one very excited lady.. I got an email from Renee and an email from Her Haby Goddess herself... I am really looking forward to the tutorials and actually cant wait for some homework. Its the 'nerd' in me. Thanks again for this great prize :)
